Health and vaccinations

There are no mandatory immunisations for those traveling to Tajikistan though you should be up-to-date on Typhoid Tetanus Polio and Hepatitis A. Malaria is present in some parts of Tajikistan therefore we suggest you consult with your doctor or travel centre as to the most appropriate vaccinations and preventative treatments.

Cultural Sensitivity

It is common to interact with locals, each with their own unique customs and traditions. It is your responsibility to show respect and consideration to local people. Your tour-leaders and guides will always be able to provide you with the appropriate advice.

First, it is important to note that Central Asia has a more flexible approach to Islam than its neighbors in Pakistan and Afghanistan. However, it should be noted that it is technically considered to be a Muslim region and therefore a little bit of caution is required in certain places. Although both genders are allowed to wear shorts and T-shirts in urban areas, they should not wear T-shirts with long sleeves. However, anyone who is visiting the mosques that are active should wear pants that are below the knees and wear tops that cover shoulders. Females should also be wearing the headscarf. In this tour, we’re travelling in quite remote areas not often frequented by tourists. Local people wear modest clothing, therefore it is probable that you will feel more at ease wearing conservative clothes.

Language & Religion

The official language of Tajikistan is Tajik. Russian is still extensively used to communicate and for business.

A majority of people follow Sunni Islam. A small number of people are followers of Russian Orthodox, Catholicism and Buddhism.

Food and beverages

This tour focuses mainly on soups and other meats. There are a few vegetables that are difficult to get in remote areas and in higher elevations. However, there’s plenty of dried fruits and nuts you can enjoy.

For alcohol, your options are typically limited to vodka or beer so anyone wanting something different – Scotch or Gin for example – ought to purchase it duty-free and bring it with them. It can be difficult to find mixer drinks , such as tonic water.
